Originally published in 1983 Social Work Values is a sustained
enquiry about the present situation of social work. It describes
the treatment of social work values in the social work literature
and in research, and pursues three distinct avenues towards an
improvement on the present unsatisfactory treatment. First, the
book introduces and encourages more philosophical reflection on the
customary 'lists' of social work values. Second, it investigates
three social work controversies: between the Charity Organisation
Society and 'the Socialists'; between the Functionalist and the
Diagnostic schools of social work; and between 'radical' Marxists
and 'the rest'. Third, and finally it explores the treatment of
'value' and 'values' in economics, sociology, ordinary usage, and
philosophy, in order to establish the distinctive elements to which
the term 'values' is applied.
